Surgery scheduler called me tonight (bless her for working late) and I'll be VSG'ing it at 8 am that day. After all this time, receiving that phone call was surreal. Afterwards I had a complete and total freak out. Is that normal?? I'm ready...but I'm scared out of my mind.

I go Monday to receive all of my after care instructions and diet then I'm ready. I've completed all of my pre-op. My plan for now is to find a therapist to work with me on my food issues as I go. A friend swore to me it was key to her keeping the weight off and also a life coach. Any other suggestions to help transition into a smoother and less stressful post op???

Congrats on getting your date!! I was super excited when I got the call to schedule my surgery but now I'm freaking out over it lol I have mine on the 18th so I'm just before you haha. I go to support meetings every Monday night which is wonderful to stay on track. Have you looked to see if there are any near you?

I attended some several years ago, but then opted out of surgery. This will be my first this time.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
